US DOE Office of Indian EnergyMarch 1, 2012
Las Vegas, Nevada

 

The dynamic world of conventional energy (focusing on oil, gas and coal energy) is a critical piece of the American energy portfolio. This strategic energy forum focused on recent trends, existing successful partnerships, and perspectives on the future of conventional energy and how tribal business interests are evolving to meet the interests and needs of new tribal energy economies. The third of a series of planned DOE Office of Indian Energy-sponsored strategic energy development & investment forums, this forum provided an opportunity for Tribal leaders, federal agencies, and executives to get real-time, regional market snapshots of:

  • new discoveries,
  • new oil and gas production methods,
  • associated research and development, and
  • support industry opportunities and new markets emerging in the traditional energy sector.

This Forum also provided a venue for Tribal leaders and sector executives to directly converse with each other regarding best practices in conventional energy project partnerships and investments.
